I like the lines a lot more. It gives the illusion of texture or even opalescence on the chitinous plates.

The feathered lines look better than the dots imo.

Gotta agree. The dots are too plain.

Why is it that only those who have never fought in a battle are so eager to be in one?

It's got to be the lines. Looks much more like the plates are ridged and spiny.

Make the spots bigger, go for cow nids!


On your examples, the lines look far better.

the feathered carapace (the left one) all the way... just gives it a more natural grown look (kind of like the lines on nails and hooves
